Default Cause of rattle located

I think that I have found that the kick panel is rattling on the driver's side.

Does anyone know how it attaches to the body under the dash. A picture of the reverse side would be helpful.

Thanks

You're in luck! I broke mine a while back and took a picture of it when I ordered it to make sure I got the right part. There are no push pins back there, just on the sill:

The video in post #2 (below) will show you how to remove the panel. I just removed mine to replace the knee bolster. The panel that you're referring to is just clipped into place.

Start near the sill plate, maneuver your finger under the panel, and lift. Very easy and no tools are required.

Just as a helpful hint, I bought an inexpensive "interior trim tool kit" for my various needs to pull apart car interiors. Works real well. Anybody who has damaged a dash using a wide blade screwdriver know how useful these tools can be. Well worth $50.
